Apprentice Reaper Xavier Devouh has lost his body. But his soul is still here... Inside his twin. For the five kingdoms of Nirus, death is managed by the knights of Grim: the Reapers. When you die, your NecroSeam (the thread stitching your soul to your body) must be reaped to begin your transition into the afterlife. But Xavier never had his Seam reaped. He only remembers being thrown off a cliff before waking inside his brother. But how did this happen? Is his body still alive? And who is the ashen-haired princess from his broken memories?

Desperate to exist again, Xavier and his brother journey to the other kingdoms to find his missing body and reverse his bizarre curse. But they aren't the only ones looking for Xavier, and they're not all here to help. As he uncovers the mystery behind his curse, Xavier learns the prophecy surrounding them will only make things worse. If it doesn't kill them first.

All the shifting beasties

Definitely a new world and story for me. I like the duality of the brothers and the storytelling in general of the rest if the characters. Moving on to the next on in the series in the hopes it gets grittier and darker.

Amazing!!!

Such a great original story! Can’t wait to listen to book two in the series! Both narrators were on point and delivered a spectacular performance! They really brought the book to life! Ellie Raine has a promising future and I can’t wait to read and listen to more!

Awesome rendition of a killer story.

Goodson and Burton make Raine's story shine in all its Intense action, brillant comedy, and visceral horror in equal measure.

Willow of Ashes is a story in a world that feels lived in, with awesome magic and believable characters. Featuring a knightly order of grim reapers, easy to follow yet exciting magic systems, and a ferret that believes he is a galactic emperor, I recommend this book to anyone. In particular, fans of Brandon Sanderson and Django Wexler will love it.
